Saladino hits a lot of points regarding optimizing sleep. We do have blackout shades, grounding pads under the sheets, Ooler systems to keep the bed temperature cool, and our bedroom is usually 58-65 degrees. We try to have our last meal by around 7p...I try to get away from blue light by 8:30-9p and read with incandescent light for about an hour.
Good Rhonda Patrick podcast on resistance training with Brad Schoenfeld. FYI, I tend to "lift heavy" on a 5 set/5 rep routine or I'll do blood flow restriction (BFR) on a 3-set structure of 30/15/15 reps. My exercise choices are pretty much intuitive (do what I feel like doing), but includes a push, a pull, a squat, and a hinge. FYI, I don't fully agree with his BFR assessment based upon my own "research of the research". Here are the timestamped topics: • (00:00) Introduction to Dr. Brad Schoenfeld • (05:26) Why should we lift weights? • (06:56) Why building bone matters • (11:33) How to lift in old age • (13:45) Why to lift while young (especially women) • (16:21) Should children lift weights? • (17:05) Does lifting stunt growth? • (19:48) How to change body composition • (27:22) Protein requirements • (29:19) How to calculate protein needs • (36:54) Protein per meal - what's the right amount? • (38:18) Does time-restricted eating undermine hypertrophy? • (43:19) Anabolic window: myths vs. reality • (46:15) Total daily protein intake • (54:49) Why aging affects muscle power (loss of type II fibers) • (57:52) Power training vs. strength • (59:20) Benefits of explosive power training (fall prevention) • (1:03:18) How to power train with plyometrics • (1:03:58) Training to failure (is it important?) • (1:09:59) Rest in between sets (is it needed?) • (1:11:12) Number of sets per week • (1:22:31) Tips for recovery • (1:33:41) Should you get sore from exercise? • (1:36:47) What can you do for soreness? (without blunting hypertrophy) • (1:40:16) Does aerobic exercise undermine resistance training? • (1:44:46) Resistance training for endurance athletes • (1:46:33) Can stretching increase muscle growth? • (1:51:06) Is yoga a type of resistance training? • (1:53:37) Blood-flow restriction training • (1:58:37) What is Brad's routine?
Need to lower your LDL - just grab some Oreos! This study does interest me because I have numbers similar to a lean mass hyper responder. Higher LDL (only about 164 vs 500+ but has increased each year since I eat a lot of saturated fats). My triglyceride to HDL ratio is great (67/76). Fasting insulin and CRP are in good shape and my body fat percentage hangs out in the 10-12% range.
They literally are going to hide the impaired banks from the consumers by burying them amongst healthy ones they are FORCING to get loans (for camouflage)! ~ via @Nik Bhatia ==== On the other hand, in an absolutely baffling 2008-esque move, Powell and the powers that be seem to want to normalize banks with impaired balance sheets; or at the very least hide them among the healthy ones. The US is preparing a rule that would force banks to tap the Fed’s discount window for emergency loans, even if they don't need one. ... As per usual, you don’t get access to these liquidity backstops. You will endure monetary tightening whether you like it or not, and there’s no central entity waiting at the ready to socialize your losses for you. ==== image
This is something I've always struggle with - why don't the evil - often rich and powerful and in positions of great influence - pay for their sins in this lifetime. Most do not...and this particular scripture really seems to point to our current leadership that continues to hoard riches and power - more than they would ever need - and they do not care if they leave their descendants in debt bondage or civil unrest. Me - I wish they'd pay for their sins in THEIR lifetime...for all to see, take heed, and change their own ways. By the way, this isn't to go "holier than thou"...I have plenty of sins I struggle with daily. And no sin is greater than another...but that is hard to wrap my head around when I just cut loose with some profanity...and Gates/Biden/Clintons/Fauci/WEF seem to escape unscathed. We just have to take heart that the poor's suffering is measured in their fleeting lifetime and the evil have eternity to pay. Yes - I understand this is wildly different than most of my posts, but it really resonated with me this morning. From Job 21... image
Seriously - where can you go to escape this globalization crap and live a more libertarian, free-market lifestyle with a sound money standard. ...that they wouldn't still be able to track you down and extract their pound of flesh - while perhaps confiscating everything and putting you in prison or executing you? I can dream about a few different states in Mexico, or Costa Rica...question the stability of El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala. One regime change and you go from having a peaceful life to losing everything. Could move to Texas (I'm native) or Tennessee...or Wyoming or maybe Montana but the weather there is HARSH. I would hope all of those states would go down swinging, at least. And at the end of the day, we have adult daughters...and GRANDSONS. They aren't going to move with us, and I don't want to strand them...even though one of the daughters w/grandsons is 2 timezones away. image My long term plan is staying in Colorado in current house and keeping cabin for more seclusion. Then perhaps buy a house in Texas and a house in Central or South America. Where would you go if you had to become an expat that strongly values freedom? #asknostr
Irony of driving to the gym in -8° (-28° windchill), and listening to Alex Epstein talk about the climate catastrophizing for global warming. The opposition isn’t just anti-fossil fuel (and nuclear)… They are anti-humanity. We are the carbon they are trying to eliminate. image
